Andariki Namaskaram 🙏

JaiTeju eyelock gets disturbed by the beep sound of some medical machine and Teju finds Jai's breathe getting abnormal again. Teju immediately starts her treatment while tears formed in her eyes seeing Jai's pain. Soon she gets able to control him but a tear from her eye falls on his hand. He felt a ting of pain seeing her tears. He was able to hear everybody even when he was in coma. He registered all the things in his mind but her he registered in heart. He kept staring her all the time till she completes checking him. She wiped her tears without anybody's knowledge and looked at them.

Teju: (smiling) Antha bagane undi. Inni rojulanunchi coma lo undatamvalla weak ga unnadu. Bed rest ga ne undali. Nenu vachi roju two times check chestanu. Ee nurses ippudu kooda ikkade untaru.

Jai: (speaks weakly) Naa...naaku... Vere doctor ni... App...appoint cheyya...cheyyamanandi kaka.

He says looking away. Everybody looks confused except Teju.

Teju: Adi kudaradu. Mee gurinchi evvariki teliyadu. Parvaledu mee gurinchi andariki telisipoyina ante vere vallani appoint chesta.

She says looking at him. Jai keeps calm as he cannot risk his brother's lives. Teju goes from there giving him last look.

We see a man coming out of airport. He looks around and finds a man waiting for him. He moves towards him and gets into the car.

Man: Chala dhaarunamga chanpesaru babu Nannagarini.

Rajat: Maa nannani champina vadni nenu oorike vadalanu. Thammudu ela unnadu.

Man: Thammudu alage oka moola kurchuni unnadu babu. Appatnunchi alane bhayamtho unnadu.

Rajat nods.

Man: Rajat babu ninna coma lo unna manavadiki spruha vachindi. Vaadi dwara emi telisindi ante vaallu iddaru kaadu mugguru ani. Prapanchaniki teliyakunda aatalu aadutunnaru. Anthe kaadu ee madya evaro oka ammayi rojoo vallintiki vachi velthundi anta.

Rajat: Aa ammayi evaro kanukkondi... Nenu valla muggirni ela bayataki thevalo aalochista.

He fists his hands while saying that.

Scene shifts to Teju entering into Jai's house again. She sees Jai glaring Kusa who is stubbornly sitting there trying to make Jai have some soup.

Kusa: Ilage konni rojula kritam nannu choosunte nenu bhaya pade vaadni. Ippudu naku bhayam ledu. Nenu kooda ninnu alage choodagalanu kaani peddodivani edo gauravam tho vadilestunna. Lekapothenaaa...

Jai: Le...le...le...lekapothe?

Kusa: (scared) Lekapothe emundi... Nenu ikkada pettesi veltha Lava vachi neeku thinipistadu.

Saying he gets up to go while Teju burst out into laughter. Listening her laughter both Jai and Kusa look at her. Jai gets mesmerized seeing her. He keeps staring her laugh.

Kusa: (angrily) Navvindi chalugani vachina pani choodu.

Teju: Choostamle nuvvellu!

She also says angrily glaring him. He glares her back and goes from there. Teju looks at Jai. He immediately looks away. She moves towards him and takes the bowl of soup.

Teju: Enduku thinatledu?

Jai: (looking away) Naa is...ish...ishtam.

Teju: Mee ishtalem panikirav ikkada. Thinakapothe medicines sarigga panicheyyav. Thinalsinde.

Jai glares her.

Teju: Nenem bhayapadanu mee ee choopalaki. Thinandi.

She forwards spoon of soup to him.

Jai: Ne...nenu... Thinta.

He forwards his hand. Teju glares him. He opens his mouth silently and she feeds him. He looks away. Teju smiles lightly. Simran who is standing at the door smiles seeing them. She came to check on Kusa whether he made Jai eat soup or not but finding Teju making him eat she smiles happily.

****

We see Teju being brought to Sarkar's house. She stands there looking around with no fear.

Rajat: Welcome doctor!

Teju: Nannenduku theesukocharu ikkadiki?

Rajat: Emledu meeru roju Ravan daggariki velthunnaru edo vishayam interesting gaa unte thelusukundam ani.

Teju: (smiles) Nenu roju velledi Simran daggaraki. Meeku thelise untundi Simran akkade untundi ani. Simran naa school friend.

Rajat: Ayithe meeku Ravan ki sambandham emi leda?

Teju: Undi ga... Oka manishiki manishiki unde sambandam.

Rajat fists his hand listening her answers. He thought to make her scared and get the answers for all he wants but nothing happened.

Rajat: Simran enduku akkada untundi?

He asks trying the other way.

Teju: Ee voorantha thelusu. Valla annayya chanipoyaka Simran baagogulanni Ravan choosukuntunnadu ani. Meeku theliyada?

Rajat: Meerika vellachu.

Teju smiles and goes from there. She knows why he called her. She knows the person who was in coma was also in her hospital and now as he came out of coma their motive is to get JLK out. But she kept quite thinking to share it with any of them if it gets serious. Later Rajat never tried to contact her. So it completely went out of Teju's mind.

*****

Few days passed. Rajat is busy in planning against Jai, Lava and Kusa. Along with that he is also busy in his business. He wants to start a liqour factory there. For that he want to destroy the fields. He is making plans for that.

Here Jai got completely fit. He fell completely in love with Teju. But remembering his past he always avoided her. He knows she also love him that too after knowing all his past but he doesn't want to let her into his life as he is scared. Yes, Jai, the Ravan is scared. Teju waited to see whether he will express his feelings but all went in vain.

That day she went to Jai's home. Jai isn't home. He went to see Bhairampur for the first time after his recovery. Kaka is explaining everything how Lava and Kusa has did everything. Jai felt happy seeing the way people are respecting him. He felt that respect gave him more happiness and satisfaction than the fear. When they were moving he saw Deva along with Rajat on their way. He felt odd seeing someone with Deva, who cannot speak anything now.

Jai: Kaka... Deva pakka....ka...kana evaru?

Kaka looks at the person.

Kaka: Nenu eppudu choodaledu Jai. Kanukkunta evaro.

Jai: Tw...twa...twaraga kanu...kkoo....

Kaka nods. They get back home to see Teju there. Jai directly goes to his room while Teju excused Simran and Priya and follows him.

Teju: Mr. Jai!

He ignores her.

Teju: Hello Mr. Jai! Nenu meethone matladuthunna.

Jai: (glares her) Ve...vellipo!

Teju: Vellanu. Naku kavalsindi naku ichedaka vellanu.

Jai only goes from there. Teju follows him calling. Lava who is cooking looks at them. He frowns and follows them. Teju holds Jai's hand and stops him. Lava's eyes widen in shock.

Jai: (glares her turning towards her) Va...va..vadulu!

Teju: Vadalanu. Naku kaavalsindi cheppenthavaraku vadalanu.

Jai tries to free his hand but couldn't and in this process he is hurting her hand. He sees her hand getting red and stops immediately. He looks at her whose eyes are teary with pain. He felt her pain and looked away. 

Teju: Coma lo unnappudu motham anni vinnav. Naku thelusu neeku kooda nenante ishtam ani. Enduku mari ila chestunnav Jai. Please. Okkasari oppukovachuga.

Jai just keeps looking away while Lava's eyes just pop out of the sockets hearing her. But immediately he smiles happily. He waits for Jai's reaction.

Teju: (with teary eyes) Okay Jai. Ide mana last meet ayithe. Maa parents elaagu evarino choosaru. Nenu no cheppataniki kooda inka chance ledu. Ippatidaka nuvvu cheptavu nenu vaallaki no cheppochu ani anukuntu ikkadiki vacha. Kaani okati gurtupettuko I Love You and I will always Love You.

She leaves his hand and about to go but Jai holds her hand. Teju looks at him with teary eyes. Jai's eyes are also filled with tears. She smiles with teary eyes and immediately hugs him.

Jai: U....un...undipo please!

Teju: (sobbing) Eppudu neethone!

Jai smiles with tears. His eyes fall on Lava who is seeing them with smile. He breaks the hug immediately making Teju confused. She looks at the way he is seeing. She holds his hand.

Teju: Neekemaina Problem aa Lava?

Lava immediately shakes his head as no without thinking a second. He just runs to Jai and hugs him tight.

Lava: Naku chala happy ga undi annayya. Vadina naku ok.

Kusa: Maku eppudo Okay!

Three of them turn and see at Simran, Kusa, Priya and Kaka.

Simran: Naku eppudo telusu mee iddari madyalo edo jarugutundi ani.

Teju: Eppudu choodu nannu follow avuthoo untav theliyakunda untunda.

All laugh at that.

Teju: Maa intlo nenu already no cheppesa.

Jai nods. One of the Jai's followers comes.

Man: Anna aa Sarkar ki inko kodukunnadanta. Ippudu Deva tho nuvvu choosindi vaadine. Vaadu konni rojulnunchi raithulni vaalla polalani vaadiki raasimmantunnadanta lekapothe laakkunta ani bediristunnadanta.

Jai: Ma...ma...mari inn....inni ro...rojulanunchi evvaru enduku cheppaledu?

He asks angrily fisting his wrist.

Man: Vaallu manadaggariki ravadaniki prayatnincharanta anna kaani vaadu vaallani daarilone champesadanta. Vaadiki bhayapadi andaru maunanga undipoyaru. Vaadu ippudu andarini polalu daggara cherchi polalu anni laakkuntunnaadanta.

Jai: Kakaa... Vad...vadini... Vadalanu!

Lava: (stops Jai) Annayya nuvvu kaadu. Nenu velta. Naa valla pani avvakapothe nuvvu choosukundu. Neeku ippude nayam avutundi. Jagrathaga undali.

Jai: Le..lee...ledu Lava. Nene veltha.

Kusa: Annayya Lava cheppinde correct. Vaadini vellani.

Kaka also nods his head. Jai closes his eyes and nods.

Jai: Lava nee... Neetho paatu ma....ma...manavallani theesukuni vellu.

Lava nods.

Jai: Jaa...jaa...jaagratha.

Lava smiles and nods. Lava then looks at Priya. Then he moves from there. Teju sees Jai's tensed face. She holds his hand and nods her head assuring him. Jai nods.
